Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 417 Future Granddaughter-in-law

Lin Qingyan casually picked a radish from the ground, broke it in half with her hands, took a bite of it herself, and handed the remaining half to Lin Qingxuan.

"Sister, can this be eaten directly?"

"It's edible. Try it. It tastes pretty good. The radish is a little sweet. We call radish a vegetable, but in some places, it's sold as a fruit."

Lin Qingyan once heard Zhou Limei say that in some places, on city streets, fruit stalls sell washed radishes.

After purchasing, they not only help to peel the fruit, but also divide it into several pieces according to the customer's requirements. Some customers just eat it directly in their hands.

"What? You can't sell radishes as fruit, right?"

Lin Qingxuan was very puzzled, but he still took the radish handed to him by his sister, took a bite, and well, how should I put it, it seemed to taste pretty good.

The brother and sister each took half a radish and started eating.

But Brother Wang, who was not far away, saw Lin Qingyan casually breaking the radish into two halves.

Brother Wang looked at the radish he had just pulled up again, tried secretly, and found that he couldn't break it apart. Yes, he couldn't break it apart.

He looked at the brother and sister over there excitedly. Now he finally understood why his company commander wanted to date the weak-looking Lin Qingyan.

It turned out that this person was a hidden talent, which made Lin Qingyan respect him even more from the bottom of her heart. This also made Lin Qingyan trust him more and hand over the crops to him.

When Lin Qingxuan went to Zhaojia Village to find the village chief, Lin Qingyan asked Brother Wang and the others:

“What do you think of the taste of these vegetables?”

"I was just about to report to you. I don't know if it's because of the soil and water here, or some other problem, but I always feel that the vegetables here are tastier than those outside."

"Yes, I thought it was our illusion at first, so I bought some vegetables from the village, which were also freshly picked from the vegetable fields.

The taste is not as good as ours, even our radishes have a slightly sweet taste. "

Another person looked at the radish in Brother Wang's hand and said.

"Don't sell the vegetables here to outsiders. I will make all arrangements. Please help me get some of each vegetable to take away. I will deal with the rest next week."

Finally, Lin Qingxuan rode over to the tricycle which was full of vegetables, and Lin Qingyan followed behind on a bicycle, heading back home.

There are more people at home now. Except for Lin Qingxuan who lives on campus, most of the others eat dinner at home. The truckload of vegetables brought back is enough for them to eat for about 10 days.

Liu Huizhen saw that the siblings brought back so many vegetables.

"Qingyan, why did you bring back so much? We can't finish it in a few days."

"Mom, take some for us to eat for a few days, and I'll give the rest to Grandpa Gu. He likes to eat our vegetables."

"Give it to your Grandpa Gu. We won't keep any of it. You can give it all away. The vegetables in the yard at home are enough for us to eat.

Deliver it now while it's still light. Vegetables need to be fresh. If you wait until tomorrow, they will no longer be fresh."

Liu Huizhen urged Lin Qingyan to deliver the vegetables.

Lin Qingyan looked at the time and rode out on her tricycle, but she did not go directly to where Grandpa Gu lived, but went directly to find Lu Wan'er.

Lu Wan'er watched Lin Qingyan riding a tricycle, pulling a cart full of vegetables, and then heard Lin Qingyan explain her purpose.

"These are the vegetables produced in that field that the old man gave you?"

Lu Wan'er knew about this; Yizhou had told her about it, but it seemed like only a short time had passed and the vegetables in that field had already grown?

"Yes, Aunt Lu, please try these vegetables first. If you think they are delicious, just let me know and don't go out to buy vegetables in the future."

Lin Qingyan handed Lu Wan'er a basket full of vegetables that she had prepared in advance.

"I'm alone at home now, and I can't eat a lot of food."

Lu Wan'er still took the basket handed to her by Lin Qingyan and put it into the house.

"Aunt Lu, Grandpa Gu wanted to eat the vegetables there. Do you think it would be convenient for you to accompany me to Grandpa Gu's place?"

Lu Wan'er looked at Lin Qingyan and suddenly felt her dependence on her. She simply ignored the fact that she was going out and nodded to Lin Qingyan:

"Okay, I just need to go back."

Lu Wan'er turned around and went back to the house to get a bag, then set off with Lin Qingyan.

This was the second time Lin Qingyan came to Grandpa Gu’s residence, following behind Lu Wan’er. She didn’t need to do anything, just follow Lu Wan’er.

When Mr. Gu saw the two of them coming together, he was a little surprised.

"Qingyan girl is here, how did you two get together?"

"Hello, Grandpa Gu. I'm here to bring you some vegetables. The vegetables grown on the land you gave me are ready to eat. I'll bring some to you over the weekend."

Lin Qingyan pointed at the tricycle in the yard. At this time, the orderly had come forward to help take the vegetables off the tricycle.

Mr. Gu also walked forward, picked up the small green vegetables and looked at them.

"It seems that the land has not been cultivated for a long time. Can it be eaten now? I thought we had to wait until the cold winter."

"Grandpa Gu, I have built a greenhouse there. The temperature inside the greenhouse is a little higher than outside, so the vegetables grow faster than normal."

In fact, in this month, you can still occasionally see some green vegetables outside. Some people's cabbages and radishes are still in the fields and have not been harvested.

However, vegetable greenhouses are different. After planting one crop of vegetables, you can plant another crop without being affected by temperature.

"Well, if greenhouses can be promoted, then we ordinary people won't have to worry about not having fresh vegetables in winter. If this can be done well, it will be a great achievement."

Mr. Gu was very happy and even more satisfied with his future granddaughter-in-law.

"I guess you two haven't eaten yet. Why don't you stay home and have dinner with me tonight? It's a good opportunity to try some of the vegetables that Qingyan sent."

After Mr. Gu finished speaking, he said to the busy orderly, "Let's cook with these vegetables tonight."

The orderly then carried the vegetables into the kitchen and gave them to the nanny who was cooking. After telling Mr. Gu what he had done, he stood where Mr. Gu could wait whenever he needed him.

"Grandpa Gu, let me cook dinner. You can try my cooking skills."

Lin Qingyan took a bag of fruit to the table in the yard.

However, Mr. Gu stopped Lin Qingyan who was about to enter the kitchen and motioned for her to sit opposite him.

"Let them work at night, and you sit down and chat with grandpa. The most important thing is that grandpa knows that you are a good cook.

If you cook, I won’t be able to tell whether the vegetables are delicious or you cook the food.”

Lu Wan'er also laughed at the side. The way the old man treated his grandson's wife was really different from how he treated his daughter-in-law.

Although the old man treated her well, she was still far inferior to his future granddaughter-in-law.

You see, now the old man can use words to coax his future granddaughter-in-law.

"Dad, Qingyan, you guys chat, I'm going back to the house to get something."

Lu Wan'er and Gu Guodong have their own bedrooms at Grandpa Gu's place, and Grandpa Gu's other children and grandchildren also have their own residences here.

After Lu Wan'er returned to the house, Lin Qingyan peeled an orange for Mr. Gu.

"Oh, girl, grandpa doesn't dare to eat oranges. They are too sour. If they make my teeth sour, I won't be able to eat anything else."

Old Master Gu looked at the orange in Lin Qingyan's hand. He felt his teeth sour before he even ate it.

This orange was taken out from Lin Qingyan’s space. All the fruits produced in the space are delicious.

"Grandpa Gu, this orange is not sour, it tastes very sweet. Would you like to try a slice first?"

Lin Qingyan broke the orange into pieces and handed them to Mr. Gu.

Grandpa Gu then took one and carefully put it in his mouth. When he didn't feel the sour taste in his mouth, he opened his eyes and waited until he finished eating the orange.

He then said with a relaxed feeling: "I haven't eaten such sweet oranges for a long time. When I was young, I also liked to eat oranges. The sourer they were, the better.

I just don’t know since when I can’t eat anything sour anymore. Now, even if I want to eat something sweet, I’m not allowed to.”

After saying this, Mr. Gu glanced at the orderly. He was old now and had suffered from many illnesses during his youth on the battlefield.

Now if I don’t pay attention, I will feel uncomfortable in various ways. But it has gotten better in the past six months. It may be because I am in a good mood.

Before he knew it, he had finished eating an orange. He wiped his hands with a towel and asked Lin Qingyan:

"How's the dessert shop business run by your mom and Yizhou's mom?"
